what else can you innovate to differentiate your microwave from every other microwave on the market?

My ideal microwave:

  • 800W, always full power
  • A dial to set the time/make it go
  • Pull door to open, not pushy-button-open-nonsense

I have never needed to use power variation, defrost settings, popcorn button, or any of the other junk.

Innovate through simplicity. Less features means less to go wrong, and cost savings that can be put into either making it cheap or improving component quality.

popcorn button

I discovered the existence of those on online forums, it literally blew my mind. Manufacturers engineering microphones in microwaves because US people can't be arsed to stay for two fucking minutes next to the oven. Fucking unbelievable.

And every commercial microwave popcorn product I've bothered to read the directions on says "DO NOT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON".

Well what's the point or the stupid thing then?

I don't know, never used it.
